Dog of the WEEK: Clara A1117624, what a face!

Clara, Pit Bull, Female, Young, Large

Clara is a Gorgeous Pittie girl. Very sweet and gentle, but your typical Pitt Bull Terrier who loves people and does everything full throttle! She is STRONG, but very much a people pleaser. She also loves to play fetch and knows some basic commands. She is just an all around amazing dog!

The other great thing about Clara is that she really likes other dogs and seems to be good at getting along with dogs of different sizes and ages as well. She'd probably love to have a playmate who could keep up with her, however, that isn't necessary since she would get on with with most any dog. Recently, she was introduced to one of our older female dogs and she definitely picked up on that the older gal was up to rowdy play so she toned it down a bit and they did great!

Clara is a great dog with a terrific temperament who really needs a loving home where she would be part of the family. She would NOT be happy as a "backyard dog" without social interaction, but what dog would? Plus with her beautiful white coat she shouldn't be out in the sun all the time...

Please come meet with gentle giant and see what I mean! She's at the West LA Animal Shelter right now!
